  • I need this podcast

    I’ve learned so much from listening to this podcast. I listen to my favorite episodes more than once because there are so many takeaways. I personally like when Rhoda gives a lecture style podcast because it’s so thoughtful. I think the whole thing feels like she is just being herself instead of trying to sound a certain type of generic way. Love that.

  • Best relationship podcast!

    Great content featuring a thoughtfully selected and diverse group of guest speakers. The profound, informed, and well-written questions posed to the guests ensure that we don’t miss out on any valuable insights. This demonstrates the Host’s commitment to being well-versed and thoroughly pre-studied on specialized topics, such as the speakers’ writing or their books. As a result, the discussion is guided and very well-informed, staying on topic without any unnecessary fluff. I appreciate this, as... more

  • Not sure,

    I feel like she is just reading from a book. Maybe I’m not far enough into the podcast. Episode 13 and just not feeling it.

    There’s nothing worse than listening to someone reading a chapter or off a script for 45min straight. Enlighten us by dropping in an opinion here and there. The podcast feels more like an audiobook.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Feeling Stuck? How to Break Free & Reclaim Your Momentum
Q: What is the difference between boundaries and requests, and why does this distinction matter in relationships?
A boundary is a personal choice about how I respond to someone else, while a request is something I'm asking another person to do or not do. Boundaries are voluntary lines I set, and crossing them is my responsibility if I choose to answer or engage.
Feeling Stuck? How to Break Free & Reclaim Your Momentum
Q: So my first question is because I love the title of your first chapter. Anxiety is a superpower. Without it, we stay stuck. Please explain what this means.
Anxiety serves as a smoke alarm for the brain, signaling when something needs attention. It's not about erasing anxiety but understanding its function and using that signal to initiate constructive action rather than letting it paralyze you.

The Power of Your Brain: How Neuroscience Can Improve Well-Being and Relationships
Q: Would you share more about neuroplasticity and share the study of the 21 college students who didn't know how to juggle?
Dr. Foutouhi explains that neuroplasticity allows us to improve our brain function at any age and supports this with studies showing that juggling can lead to measurable changes in brain structure.
